After the devastating 0:3 against Atalanta a few days ago, the `Rossoneri` lost dramatically with 1:2 to their city rival Inter in the derby of the quarterfinals for the Italian Cup. The turning point turned out to be Zlatan Ibrahimovic`s red card. The Swede opened the score for Milan, but after the break left his team with one less man and according to head coach Stefano Pioli, this has sharply tipped the scales in favor of the opponent. `It`s disappointing that we dropped out because we had ambitions in the tournament via answers of football picks and we wanted to win it. And today we showed that we are a strong team, but in a reduced squad it became very difficult, ` said Pioli after the match.
`I don`t know what Ibrahimovic and Lukaku said to each other. They are both mature people, but such things happen in fo otball. This situation had an impact and Zlatan`s yellow card led to a red card after the break. In the second card he committed a foul driven by the desire to help`Things got complicated for us, and the penalty violation was very naive, ` the coach of the `red and blacks` continued. `
Despite everything, after this loss I am much more positive about our future than after the match against Atalanta. The match was equal, the big difference came from the red card. If we were 11 against 11 and at 1:0 for us`Anything could have happened, ` Pioli said.
